1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Deregulated expression of the proto-oncogene c- myc in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells carrying a t(2;8) translocation is mediated by a synergistic interaction of the translocated immunoglobulin (Ig) kappa gene intron (kappaEi) and 3' (kappaE3') enhancers and characterized by a strong activation of the promoter P1. We have investigated the functional role of distinct kappa enhancer sequence motifs in P1 activation on both mini-chromosomes and reporter gene constructs. Stable and transient transfections of BL cells revealed critical roles of the kappaEi and kappaE3' elements kappaB and PU, respectively. Joint mutation of kappaB and PU completely abolished P1 activity, implying that an interaction of kappaB- and PU-binding factors is essential for the enhancer synergism. Mutation of the E box 1 and E box 2 motifs markedly decreased P1 activity in transient but not in stable transfection experiments. Co-expression of the NF-kappaB subunit p65(RelA) and Sp1, an essential factor for P1 transcription, in Drosophila melanogaster SL2 cells synergistically enhanced promoter activity. Our results support a model which proposes cross-talk between promoter and enhancer binding factors as the basic mechanism for kappa enhancer-mediated c- myc activation in BL cells.
